- The biggest loser | The Manila Times
The columnist says that after 39 days of hearings, prosecutors dropped three articles of impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte and kept only the one on unexplained wealth, and the impeachment court accepted the move over the defense's objections. The columnist argues that this, along with lowering the conviction threshold to 14 votes and senators shifting blocs, makes the process look aimed at removing Sara Duterte from the 2028 presidential race. A Pulse Asia survey from September 17 to 24 showed her leading Leni Robredo 50% to 26%, with 54% performance approval and 55% trust. The columnist warns that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s ratings could fall given inflation of 7.2%, the peso at P63.10 to the dollar, public debt of P19.6 trillion and the unresolved P1.089 trillion flood-control plunder.
- Trump desperately idiotic diesel deal | The Manila Times
The column says U.S. diesel prices rose about 65%, from $3.76 to $6.38 per gallon, after the war with Iran began on Feb. 28, pushing headline inflation to 3.7% in September from 3.4%. President Trump suspended some U.S. sanctions on Russia to allow diesel exports, which the author sees as an attempt to ease prices before the Nov. 3 midterm elections. The author argues that the U.S. had produced virtually all its domestic diesel before the war, so a deal with Russia will not fix a problem driven by disrupted global supply chains and U.S. exports to allies. The first proposed shipment is 300,000 metric tons (about 2.25 million barrels) this month, though the Russian government has not confirmed the deal.
- Cebu overall inflation slows down in Sept | The Manila Times
Cebu province's overall inflation eased to 9.2% in September from 9.5% in August, mainly because transport inflation slowed to 13.5% from 17.6%, though it remained well above the 5.3% recorded a year earlier. Food and non-alcoholic beverages remained the largest driver at 10.7%. In contrast, inflation accelerated in the major cities: Cebu City rose to 8.4% from 7.5%, Mandaue City to 6.8% from 5.9%, and Lapu-Lapu City to a revised 5.0% from 4.2%. Nationally, inflation accelerated to 7.2%, and economist Emmanuel Leyco warned that persistent inflation could weaken the peso's appeal to investors, proposing suspension of domestic fuel excise taxes and tax holidays for small businesses.

- UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.
UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.

Japan's Nikkei 225 slipped 0.6% to 64,512.35 in early trading, South Korea's Kospi dropped 2.8%, and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 lost 0.8%.

The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.14%, and U.S. crude rose to $103.50 a barrel and Brent to $109.47, as uncertainty about when the energy industry will return to normal after the war with Iran means oil is unlikely to ease soon.

- What Could X-Energy (XE) Gain From Its 960MW Indiana Nuclear Project?
X-Energy (NasdaqGS:XE), American Electric Power and Amazon agreed to assess a 960 MW advanced nuclear project in Indiana using Xe-100 reactors, on a former coal plant site. Under the joint development agreement, Amazon would provide development funding and commit to a long-term power purchase. The article says the deal offers commercial validation for X-Energy's reactor platform rather than immediate financial relief, as the company, with a $4.3b market cap, reported $150.28 million in revenue, a $448.87 million loss, and a 20.2x price-to-sales ratio. The next key milestone is whether the study reaches a final investment decision for the Sullivan County site.
